Gotta Think Outside The Box


I imagine this is what pretentious art and creative directors do with each other in their offices...

Eva Husson - "If I Know You" by The Presets



I'm not sure how serious this video is. I'm not sure if I care. But I'm pretty sure it's pretty rad. By Eva Husson for the track "If I Know You" by The Presets.

BNS - Jack Daniel's Old No. 7


Jack Daniel's "Label Story": "Old No. 7" from Brand New School on Vimeo.

Well lookie lookie lookie! Here is one of the spots for Jack Daniel's that I worked on at Brand New School (they have a better quality movie on their site). Looks pretty good! I was part of a great team there, and we all worked really hard on it, and I know I learned a lot. I'm glad to see a great final outcome. I'll keep you all updated as to the other spots in the series when they get put up on the interwebs. Awesome!


Also, here's a link to its feature on Motionographer!!!! Hooo boy!

Helvetica



 I just saw the documentary film, Helvetica, last night. It was created to tell the story of the legendary and ubiquitous typeface and describe why it has become so prevalent in everyday life as well as design. I really enjoyed the film, especially because it only used Helvetica as a prompt to delve into more philosophies of typography and graphic design. It was nice to hear from some major designers themselves about their mindsets when creating their work, particularly in relation to typography. Although I didn't agree with some of the things they said, especially about Helvetica (blasphemy!), I can still appreciate what they have to say. It's a bit of a mind- and eye-opener in addition to an informative piece. Check it out.
